The Weekly Downloads: Nov. 3 ~ Nov. 9

Anther week, another batch of downloads – some really good ones too! 

Without a doubt, the biggest free download this week is from Steven Curtis Chapman.  You can download his latest single, “Heaven Is the Face”, from Tangle.com.  It’s an amazing, beautiful song, enough said.  Don’t miss it.

Though it can’t top “Heaven Is The Face”, iTickets does have two good song available for free this week, Paul Baloche’s song “Glorious” and Kelly Clinger’s song “What You See In Me”.

Next up, if you like your music a little louder, VideoRocket has the debut music video for new Tooth & Nail band The Letter Black.  It’s for the song “Hanging By A Thread”, and it’s pretty cool.  Check it out!

It’s hard to believe Christmas is coming up so fast, but it is, and Gospel Music Channel has the Christmas music to prove it – specifically, Ayiesha Woods’ version of “Jingle Bells”.  As it turns out, Ayiesha actually has whole Christmas album coming out, called Christmas Like This, a play off her last album’s title, Love Like This.

Here’s something new:  FreeCCM.com has totally updated their website!  It’s now a blog-type format, with new downloads every week.  They’ve got three weeks worth of downloads up right now, with songs from Todd Agnew, Fee, and The Afters – some pretty cool stuff.  You do need to sign up for the website again, even if you were signed up previously.

Last, but definitely not least this week, New Release Tuesday has a new song by Plumb.  It’s called “Hold On”, and it’s one of the new tracks from Plumb’s latest greatest hits collection, entitled Beautiful History.  I’m pretty excited about Beautiful History myself, primarily because it has two disks, the second of which is full of remixes.  Very cool stuff indeed!

25 Years (And The Music Don’t Stop)

Free music today from one of the biggest websites in free Christian music, HearItFirst.  It turns out that EMI CMG / Sparrow Records (who used to own HearItFirst) had a 25th birthday recently, and to celebrate, they gave away 25 five free downloads, covering what appears to be a full 25 years of music.  They’ve got some old classics, and some fairly recent ones too.  The full list:

Scott Wesley Brown – “Consider The Lilies”
Amy Grant – “Sing Your Praise To The Lord”
Jump5 -”Friends”
Avalon – “For Freedom”
BeBe and CeCe Winans – “Change Your Nature”
Bethany Dillon – “Waking Up”
Lost Ocean – “Just Glide”
Margaret Becker – “Say The Name”
Newsboys – “You Are My King (Amazing Love)”
Charlie Hall – “Marvelous Light”
Oceans Above – “Beautiful One”
DC Talk – “The Hardway”
Petra – “This Means War”
DeGarmo and Key – “Casual Christian”
Rebecca St. James – “God Help Me”
Sanctus Real – “The Face of Love”
Shawn McDonald – “Captivated”
Stacie Orrico – “Strong Enough”
Delirious? – “Majesty”
Steven Curtis Chapman – “Signs of Life”
Edison Glass – “Let Go”
This Beautiful Republic – “Casting Off”
Future of Forestry – “Open Wide”
Geoff Moore and The Distance – “Homerun”
Audio Adrenaline – “Big House”

As you can see, I wasn’t kidding about a the time line. Amy Grant and Scott Wesley’s songs were both released before my time, and then Shawn MacDonold’s “Captivated” came out just this year. Anyway, regardless of your age, you’ll probably find something you can enjoy. I know James really likes Edison Glass, and I’m glad to see Audio Adrenaline’s “Big House” on the list. That’s just a classic.

To access the downloads, you’ll need to be a HearItFirst member and be signed in. Then you can pick & download the mp3s you want. Happy listening!  (Oh, and happy birthday HearItFirst!)
